देशभक्त बटुकेश्वर दत्त एक महान क्रांतिकारी

बटुकेश्वर दत्त (नवंबर १९०८ - १९ जुलाई १९६५) भारतके स्वतंत्रता संग्रामके महान क्रांतिकारी थे । स्वतंत्रता सेनानी बटुकेश्वर दत्त सर्वप्रथम ८ अप्रैल, १९२९ को राष्ट्रसे परिचित हुए, जब वे भगत सिंहके साथ केंद्रीय विधान सभामें बम विस्फोटके पश्चात् बंदी बनाए गए ।

जन्म

बटुकेश्वर दत्तका जन्म १८ नवम्बर, १९१० को बंगाली कायस्थ परिवारमें ग्राम-औरी, जिला नानी बेदवानमें (बंगालमें) हुआ था; परंतु पिता ‘गोष्ठ बिहारी दत्त' कानपुरमें नौकरी करते थे । बटुकेश्वरने १९२५ में मैट्रिककी परीक्षा पास की और तभी माता एवं पिता दोनोंका देहांत हो गया । इसी समय वे सरदार भगतसिंह और चंद्रशेखर आजादके संपर्कमें आए और क्रान्तिकारी संगठन ‘हिन्दुस्तान सोशलिस्ट रिपब्लिकन एसोसियेशन’के सदस्य बन गए । सुखदेव और राजगुरुके साथ भी उन्होंने विभिन्न स्थानों पर काम किया । इसी क्रममें बम बनाना भी सीखा ।

क्रांतिकारी जीवन

८ अप्रैल, १९२९ को दिल्ली स्थित केंद्रीय विधानसभामें (वर्तमान का संसद भवन) भगत सिंहके साथ बम विस्फोट कर ब्रिटिश राज्यकी अधिनायकताका विरोध किया । बम विस्फोट बिना किसीको हानी पहुंचाए केवल पर्चोंके माध्यमसे अपनी बातको प्रचारित करनेके लिए किया गया था । उस दिन भारतीय स्वतंत्रता सेनानियोंको दबानेके लिए ब्रिटिश शासनकी ओरसे पब्लिक सेफ्टी बिल और ट्रेड डिस्प्यूट बिल लाया गया था, जो इन लोगोंके विरोधके कारण एक वोटसे पारित नहीं हो पाया ।

कारागृह जीवन

इस घटनाके पश्चात् बटुकेश्वर दत्त और भगत सिंहको बंदी बनाया गया । १२ जून, १९२९ को इन दोनोंको आजीवन कारावासका दंड सुनाया गया । दंड सुनानेके उपरांत इनको लाहौर फोर्ट कारागृहमें भेजा गया । यहां पर भगत सिंह और बटुकेश्वर दत्त पर लाहौर षडयंत्र अभियोग चलाया गया । उल्लेखनीय है कि साइमन कमीशनका विरोध- प्रदर्शन करते हुए लाहौरमें लाला लाजपत रायको अंग्रेजोंके आदेशपर अंग्रेजी राजके सिपाहियों द्वारा इतना पीटा गया कि उनकी मृत्यु हो गई । अंग्रेजी राजके उत्तरदायी पुलिस अधिकारीको मारकर इस मृत्युका प्रतिशोध चुकानेका निर्णय क्रांतिकारियों द्वारा लिया गया था ।

इस कार्यवाहीके परिणामस्वरूप लाहौर षडयंत्र अभियोग चला, जिसमें भगत सिंह, राजगुरु और सुखदेवको फांसी दी गई थी । बटुकेश्वर दत्तको आजीवन कारावास काटनेके लिए काला पानी भेज दिया गया । कारागृहमें ही उन्होंने १९३३ और १९३७ में ऐतिहासिक भूख हडताल की । सेल्यूलर कारागृहसे १९३७ में बांकीपुर केंद्रीय कारागृह, पटनामें लाए गए और १९३८ में मुक्त कर दिए गए । काला पानीसे गंभीर बीमारी लेकर लौटे दत्त पुनः बंदी बनाए गए और चार वर्षोंके पश्चात् १९४५ में मुक्त किए गए ।

बटुकेश्वर दत्त : जिन्हें स्वतंत्रताके उपरांत मिली केवल उपेक्षा

देशकी स्वतंत्रताके लिए अनंत दुःख झेलने वाले क्रांतिकारी एवं स्वतंत्रता सेनानी बटुकेश्वर दत्तका जीवन भारतकी स्वतंत्रताके उपरांत भी दंश, यातनाओं, और संघर्षोंकी गाथा बना रहा और उन्हें वह सम्मान नहीं मिल पाया जिसके वह अधिकारी थे । उन्होंने बिस्कुट और डबलरोटीका एक छोटासा उद्योगालय (कारखाना) खोला; परंतु उसमें बहुत हानि उठानी पडी और वह बंद करना पडा । कुछ समय तक यात्री (टूरिस्ट) प्रतिनिधि एवं बस परिवहनका काम भी किया; परंतु एक के पश्चात् एक कामोंमें असफलता ही उनके हाथ लगी ।

दत्तके जीवनके इस अज्ञात अंगका सारांश नेशनल बुक ट्रस्ट द्वारा प्रकाशित पुस्तक (बटुकेश्वर दत्त, भगत सिंहके सहयोगी) में हुआ है । अनिल वर्मा द्वारा लिखी गयी यह संभवत: पहली ऐसी पुस्तक है, जो उनके जीवनका प्रामाणिक संलेख (दस्तावेज) होनेके साथ-साथ स्वतंत्रता संघर्ष और स्वतंत्रताके पश्चात जीवन संघर्षको उजागर करती है ।

बीमारीमें उपेक्षाके शिकार बटुकेश्वर दत्त :

बटुकेश्वर दत्तके १९६४ में अचानक व्याधिग्रस्त होनेके पश्चात् उन्हें गंभीर स्थितिमें पटनाके शासकीय चिकित्सालयमें भर्ती कराया गया । इस पर उनके मित्र चमनलाल आजादने एक लेखमें लिखा, ‘क्या दत्त जैसे कांतिकारीको भारतमें जन्म लेना चाहिए, परमात्माने इतने महान शूरवीरको हमारे देशमें जन्म देकर भारी भूल की है । खेदकी बात है कि जिस व्यक्तिने देशको स्वतंत्र करानेके लिए प्राणोंकी चिंता नहीं की और जो फांसीसे बाल-बाल बच गया, वह आज नितांत दयनीय स्थितिमें चिकित्सालयमें पडा एडियां रगड रहा है और उसे कोई पूछनेवाला तक नहीं है ।’

इसके पश्चात सत्ताके गलियारोंमें हडकंप मच गया और चमनलाल आजाद, केंद्रीय गृहमंत्री गुलजारी लाल नंदा और पंजाबके मंत्री भीमलाल सच्चरसे मिले । पंजाब शासनने एक सहस्र रुपएका धनादेश बिहार शासनको भेजकर वहांके मुख्यमंत्री के. बी. सहायको लिखा कि यदि वे उनका वैद्यकीय उपचार करानेमें सक्षम नहीं हैं तो वह उनका दिल्ली अथवा चंडीगढमें वैद्यकीय उपचारका व्यय वहन करने को तत्पर हैं ।

बिहार शासनकी उदासीनता और उपेक्षाके कारण क्रांतिकारी बैकुंठनाथ शुक्ला पटनाके शासकीय चिकित्सालयमें असमय ही प्राण छोड चुके थे । अत: बिहार शासन क्रियाशील हो गयी और पटना वैद्यकीय महाविद्यालयमें (मेडिकल कॉलेज) डॉ. मुखोपाध्यायने दत्तका उपचार चालू किया; परंतु उनकी स्थिति बिगडती गयी; क्योंकि उन्हें सही उपचार नहीं मिल पाया था और २२ नवंबर १९६४ को उन्हें दिल्ली लाया गया ।

दिल्ली पहुंचने पर उन्होंने पत्रकारोंसे कहा था, मैने स्वप्नमें भी नहीं सोचा था कि, मैं उस दिल्लीमें जहां मैने बम डाला था, एक अपाहिज बनकर स्ट्रेचर पर लाया जाऊंगा । उन्हें सफदरजंग चिकित्सालयमें भर्ती किया गया । पीठमें असहनीय पीडाके उपचारमें लिए किए जाने वाले कोबाल्ट ट्रीटमेंटकी व्यवस्था केवल एम्समें थी; परंतु वहां भी कमरा मिलनेमें विलंब हुआ । २३ नवंबरको पहली बार उन्हें कोबाल्ट ट्रीटमेंट दिया गया और ११ दिसंबरको उन्हें एम्समें भर्ती किया गया ।

तदनंतर पता चला कि, दत्त बाबूको कैंसर है और उनके जीवनके चंद दिन ही शेष बचे हैं । भीषण पीडा झेल रहे दत्त अपने मुखपर वह पीडा कभी भी न आने देते थे । पंजाबके मुख्यमंत्री रामकिशन जब दत्तसे मिलने पहुंचे और उन्होंने पूछ लिया, हम आपको कुछ देना चाहते हैं, जो भी आपकी इच्छा हो मांग लीजिए । छलछलाए नेत्र और मंदस्मितके साथ उन्होंने कहा, हमें कुछ नहीं चाहिए । बस मेरी यही अंतिम इच्छा है कि, मेरा दाह संस्कार मेरे मित्र भगत सिंहकी समाधिके पासमें किया जाए ।

जीवनके अंतिम क्षण:

लाहौर षडयंत्र अभियोगके किशोरीलाल अंतिम व्यक्ति थे, जिन्हें उन्होंने पहचाना था । उनकी बिगडती स्थिति देखकर भगत सिंह की मां विद्यावतीको पंजाबसे कारसे बुलाया गया । १७ जुलाईको वह कोमामें चले गये और २० जुलाई १९६५ की रात एक बजकर ५० मिनट पर दत्त बाबू इस संसारसे विदा हो गये । उनका अंतिम संस्कार उनकी इच्छाके अनुसार, भारत-पाक सीमाके पास हुसैनीवालामें भगत सिंह, राजगुरू और सुखदेवकी समाधिके निकट किया गया ।

Role of society

Should society take law in their hand? All were excited to see the punishment given to the gundas of local town by police and then similar course followed by people mob for other street goons in Ajay Devagan starred movie Gangajal.
After seeing the seemingly uncontrolled nature of tyranny one may get induced to take the extreme step. Momentarily the action could be justified, but it would be deadly for society in long run.
Recently in my home town mob killed two robbers, captured the rest and prisoned them. People took such step after risking their life and they fulfilled their purpose. They also captured police who came in the morning to inspect the scene. Later agitation caused the suspension of some police officials.
Society has to introspect before abusing others. Except the mob like moment people used to sleep in their home giving little care to the daily affairs of society. People should work day and night for building the characters of common people and future generation.
Who will punish people for their inactivity?

Hinduism Vs Islam-phobia

Strengthening Hinduism should be taken in positive way which is needed to purge Hindu society. Hinduism is not a negative thought, but it is a positive force to propel humans for attaining divinity. This teaches oneness among humans. Because of historical reasons and the aggressive nature of some misguided member of Islam, people start taking Hinduism in wrong way. They think this idea will protect them from Islam. Some even argues that segregation of Islam will cure all problems and Hindus will live happily. Hinduism is not a force to separate people, but it is a powerful thought to unite humans amid intense diversity.

Hinduism ignites mind. It propels a person to fight with himself. One has to fight this battle to win and control one’s own mind which is needed for achieving divinity and blessing of happiness. By nature this doesn’t come automatically, but there is a process for achieving that divinity. If more people start practicing Hinduism, it will automatically get strengthened and people will get conducive environment for living purposely.

Not Islam, not Christianity or not any other power has capability to kill or eliminate Hinduism, but only Hindu will kill Hinduism. When selfishness clouds our mind, when dishonesty, insensitiveness towards fellow humans, lack of service, wrong food habits and many such vices become our part of life Hinduism dies.

As religion, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism are not different. In the core all are same. But is the political force behind all these religion which is threat to society. Instead of fighting this evil power, people thought separation of people following all these religion will solve the problem. Pakistan was created. The condition of Pakistani Mussalman became even worse than the condition of Mussalman in India who progressed in life as Hindus do. The Hindus and others in Pakistan have no voice which was other failure of that system.

The greatest task for Hindus is to propel Hindus to follow austerity in their daily life. Once they will follow such path, others will automatically accept that goodness and will incorporate in their own lives. This will send good message to foreigners, who will also start accepting these thoughts and hence humanity will win on diverse nature of different religion. All will go on the path of devotion from their own means and Bharat will automatically prosper.

Hindu first follow Hinduism, Islam follow Islam and Christian follow Christianity that is the way of life. If one wants divinity, happiness then although they follow different religion then can marry and can attain all those things living in same room but following different path. Not separation but togetherness will solve the problem.

My Dear Pai

He called me today morning and told "Shanta sir me going home." As usual I asked him "When will you come back dear? I will soon come to meet you people""Oh no sir, I am finally going home. I am not going to come back again." Suddenly I realized his posting has already been decided. Although we have spent very few days together, but we have developed very deep emotional bond with each other. Whenever I used to go there (Shakti Nagar), he used to stay with me always. While sitting in his room, he kept listening me without telling a word. The moment I had stop

ped, he started asking questions clarifies his own daily affairs.

Although he spoke little to me, he always liked to show me all the activities he had done in very silent manner. Once I told him about my coming at Shakti Nagar, he with his friend went in the Basti earlier and colled all children to come definitely. Whenever I told him I am going to arrange for my sleep somewhere, he used to insist me to sleep in his room. He always felt awkward to see his room's pathetic condition in my presence and tried to arrange that properly. During winter he directed the heaters towards me and went to his friends' for sleep without getting noticed.

Why do we people come to meet and develop emotional attachment? Sometimes I think I born in a small village in northern Bihar and he took birth at the tip of southern India in Karnataka, but I always felt more affectionate with him than my own villagers. Why? There is no answer of all these questions. The truth is that he has gone and only his memories and his cares for children who changed my course of career and for whom I was anxious for one whole year.

He likes Vivekanand's thought deeply and wishes to become teacher in future to teach children the idea of India. Best of luck my Dear friend! You will always have a space in my heart.

I do remember your outburst for telling the story of India to the children of Sewa Kunj. (India was not discovered by Vasco da Gama, but always existed before than any human records.)

Ignorant IITians

The development of social structure is very complex phenomena. Many forces are consistently working for giving it a new shape, a new direction. Unfortunately these forces are not always good for humans or a particular community. As the process is very slow, the impact is observed in many advanced stage which sometimes becomes incorrigible.

The wise person of a particular community are supposed to keep eyes on such development and project its implications on the society in long term. After understanding the problem well, he is supposed to aware the common mass and take necessary steps.

But it was unfortunate that wise men of India are very ignorant about many issues. One such burning issue is the problem of conversion. A conscious mind is supposed to take his own path for fulfilling his goal. But problem is common mass follows things just for immediate gain. They can not be categorized as persons acting consciously. The problem arises because of conversion of these lot of common masses. I will write the problem of conversion in detail later. Today I just want to high light that even IITian who are considered as the brightest breed in India could be ignorant about social structures.

While talking on the issues of conversion I found that my senior from IIT doesn't know that Hindus are staying in Pakistan, leave the status, social and economical condition of those fellow brother who are treated as secondary citizen in their own homeland. Historically Pakistan was the land of Hindus, but because of ignorance our ancestors these people have to live there as secondary citizens.

What is more unfortunate that, that particular person is very caste conscious. As a girl in his community refused to marry him and chosen a boy from other community, he gave a great deal about the distinct culture and tradition of that particular caste. How fool could an IITian be? We have to raise question about our education system, which rate a person on his capability of earning or making money rather contributing significantly on building his own society.

Telangana: A reality

Concept of state: What was the need to divide the country in states?
Governance of India, a large nation with diversity, is almost impossible to run. It was needed to divide whole nation into small units capable of taking decisions for the development of that region.
What should be the basis for the division of the nation into states? As we have already mentioned that for the ease of governance India was divided into states. Governance is needed for the betterment of common people which was directly related to development. So the basis of division should be development. Unfortunately our politicians did mistake by dividing nations on the basis of language. It is the soul region the country is facing the problem of regional imbalance on the basis of development leading to demand of formation of new states. The issue of Telangana was the result of all these shortcomings of governance.
Here is the main question for the time being, is Telangana separated from Andhra or not. Leave the basis of separation and observe the realities and possibilities.
From the facts I have collected from various sources have given me insight to give right suggestions. It is true that there is asymmetric development in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana is at losing end although it is rich in natural resources. Most of the industries (about 65 %) are owned by Andhraites (they will certainly oppose the formation of new state as they have to lose their property there). People of Telangana are finding difficulty for playing such role in the state. Seven out of ten states are very backward as compared to districts of other parts. Politicians from Telangana hardly get chance to rule the state as CM (only 6 years till now). Although Krishna and Godavari River flow largely in Telangana region, their water are mostly utilized in other region. This fact causes discontent among farmers. Most of development projects are sanctioned in Andhra region only.
There are many historical reasons for the demand of separate state, but that is not so important me for making decisions as I believe it is very easy for local politicians to promote local cultures on their own. Even though one will take such factors then they will even consolidate the demand of separate state.
What is the immediate outcome of separating Telangana state? Given the scenario, centre will be seen as separating the state under pressure. This will give opportunities for the demand of new states from all corner of the country which will prove a great blow on the national sentiment of the country.
Given the situation, I will give my vote for carving out Telangana state. But proper care should be taken. Government should convince all the ministers and common people for the result. This should be done openly on center stage so that local politicians from other parts will be discouraged to take the decisions.
Another burning topic for discussion is small size of state will help in its development.
Some Facts about Telangana:

1. “Telangana”- Name of the Communist Party Pamphlet in 1945, Demanded Vishalandhra, “anti-feudal” and “revolutionary agrarian programme”, state committee of cpi issued a pamphlet called Prajarajyam in Visalandhra or people’s rule in the larger (Telugu-speaking) state of Andhra Pradesh.
2. At the time of the States Reorganisation Commission, the recommendation was to exclude Telengana from Andhra Pradesh — at the time, the region included five districts now in Maharashtra and three districts now in Karnataka. The recommendation was set aside, because of what the state saw as a special situation in those parts.
3. With a population of more than 3 crores now, with ten districts including Hyderabad, with 40 percent of AP’s land mass, if it is actually carved into another state it would be the fifth largest in the country
4. Rich Subculture,
5. Economic reality: With the Krishna and the Godavari rivers flowing through the region, they claim they get very little from the rivers — claiming rights on seventy percent of the Godavari’s water, as they say two-thirds of the catchment area is in Telangana, as compared to just less than half of the water they say they get. With regard to the Godavari, as well, they want a much higher proportion of the total water, as the catchment area in Telangana is twice as much as the water set out for them.
6. The first Telangana movement, in pre-independence India, largely led by the Communist Party, involved 12 to 18 months of agitation against the Asafjahi Nizam’s landlords: in this period, claim Communist records, village peasant committees that made decisions and ruled. The Congress accounts, though, tell a different story; and when Sardar Patel decided to settle the difficult Nizam through ‘police action’, the Centre then thought it necessary to quell Communist activity in Telangana with a firm hand as well. The fact that the Telangana region, activities there and the political struggle in the area had a deep impact on national politics is evident from a view that even Vinoba Bhave’s bhoodan, started at the time, was the Congress Party’s way of sublimating the passions that the urge for land reform had stoked in the countryside. The next two agitations for statehood were in 1969 (Jai Telangana) and then again in 1972 (Jai Andhra). Both agitations, especially the one in 1969, led to chaos being experienced state-wide and school and college sessions were disrupted.
7. In 2001, when the deputy speaker in the AP state assembly, K. Chandrashekhar Rao, resigned from the TDP, and announced his support for a separate Telengana, he was joined by members of the Congress from the region, and 41 Congress MLAs even petitioned their leader pressing her to consider a separate Telangana. The emergence of the Telangana Rashtriya Samiti (the TRS), did at first signal a viable electoral base (with more than 100 of the 294 assembly seats, and 16 of the 42 parliamentary seats from the state being from Telangana), but recent polls, municipal, and by elections for the Vidhan Sabha and Parliament seem to suggest mixed trends, and TRS has received anything but a walkover.
8. The Telangana region accounts for 119 of the 294 assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh and 17 of the 42 Lok Sabha seats.
Osmania University is the nerve center of student agitation for Telangana State demand.
Mussalman favours separate Telangana State due to historical reason. It was the Islam state under the rule of Nizam before independence. Telangana consisted of 14% Mussalman whereas Andhra Pradesh consists of 9.4% only. This equation is taken as favourable by BJP.
Students has given slogan “Hyderabad Chalo”.
Issue: Distribution of water of Krishna and Godavari river, most of districts of Telangana were very backward contrast to district of Andhra State and Rayalaseema, people from Andhra are doing business in Telangana region also while Telangana people are deprived in most of cases,

IIM-If they would have given a thought for country

Ravi Matthai was director of IIM Ahmedabad. Being impressed by the thought and vision of Verghese Kurien, he invited him to join the Board of Management of IIM Ahmedabad. He gave lecture in the meeting for motivating students to feel that it is a matter of glory to work for at least three years before they go in search of their own progress abroad. The other members of the board sitting around the table were some of Ahmedabad's top industrialists. One of them took his cigar out of his mouth, looked at him and said superciliously, 'So Dr. Kurien, you want our graduates to go and milk cows.' He stood up, returned his look and said, 'No, you continue to teach them how to suck on cigars.' And then, Adding that he resigned from the board and walked off.
